Some Bundle Love CTC593


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)




This week, we are CASEING from the Bundles Chapter of the catalogue.


I've chosen to CASE right from the page featuring the cute Box of Joy stamp and die bundle.  


I've used the stamp set with the Advent Treat Boxes and covered my box using some of the Everyday Essentials designer paper.


For the 'window' part of the box, I've used the Product of the Month Stars dies - which are now sold out!!  So if you were one of the lucky ones who bought them on time - congratulate yourself!!  


The really lovely Timeless Metallic paper works so beautifully for the shine and festive colours!  


I have used Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends to colour the ribbon, and then cut the ribbon in half length ways to get a finer width - this is the super versatile White Textured Ribbon.  


Up next is the extraordinary Peta

Poinsettia Gift Box for Creativity Abounds Blog Hop ready for Christmas


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire your creativity.


If you live in Australia and shop with me you will receive this tutorial bundle FREE! The tutorial has full instructions and metric and imperial measurements for 13 different cards. The tutorial bundle can be purchased for $25. Please email me if you would like to purchase the bundle.


Our blog hop each month is a project along the theme of the tutorial, but is a different design from the tutorial project. This is an alternative version of my Tutorial Card.
I've been really enjoying the gorgeous Pretty Poinsettia bundle amd getting started on my Christmas crafting.  I'm using the Advent Treat Boxes with the Pretty Poinsettia bundle this time.  These Advent Treat Boxes are so easy to fold together and they are a great size too!

I've wrapped some of the wonderful Wood Grain Wonders designer paper around the box with a strip of paper that is 2 x 12 inches long and overlapped the ends at the front (underneath the greeting).  I then cut another piece of paper for the lid of the box that is 2 3/4 x 2 1/4 inches.  


I love the gorgeous Gold Foil leaves die cut with the cute Real Red stamped image for the lid of the box!  
Make sure you keep hopping for LOTS more great Inspiration!!

Love a good layout!!! CTC#592


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)



This week, we are CASEING one of the layout templates in our catalogue.  If you hover over the QR code on page 13 of the catalogue you will also see lots more layout ideas that make a GREAT starting point for cardmaking, scrapbooking and tags!


I used one of the layouts that are actually featured in the catalogue.


I have ALSO been inspired by a floating card design that was in our weekly email from Stampin' Up! full of great ideas and inspiration - one of the awesome perks of being a demonstrator!!  If you'd love to know more, click HERE to see our amazing joining offer this month!!


The floating card using Window Sheet as the card base, and then a frame repeated 4 times on the outside and inside of the card which hides all the gluey bits!!  I have also embossed my card front using the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder.


The fun die cut shape I decided to use came from the Frames and Flourish Hot Foil Dies.  I've used the die with the deliciously opulent Neutral Noel specialty paper - love this super gold design!  I have then used one of the Scalloped Bloom dies with some lovely NEW Mulberry Paper - ooooh it's just lovely!  Next I used the Noel  Tidings bundle for the greeting and the leafy dies and berries cut from the Timeless Metallic paper and the Metal Effects Specialty paper.


You can see the inside of the card where I have repeated the Frames and Flourish die with more of the Neutral Noel paper and then some Basic White for the writing panel.


The back of the card also has another die cut Neutral Noel frame to complete the picture!!  I love the Secret Sea with Gold highlights!!  

Up next is the extraordinary Judy
